Abstract:The gingival epithelium plays a crucial role in achieving long-term stability of dental implants, and the hydrogenated TiO2 nanotubes with a superhydrophilic surface exhibit more excellent biological activity than pure titanium implants. However, the effects of the hydrogenated TiO2 nanotubes on human gingival epithelial cells remain unclear. Here, we fabricated hydrogenated TiO2 nanotubes using anodization and hydrogenation to investigate the adhesion of human gingival epithelial cells (HGEs) on structured su… Show more
